Gulshan Devaiah-Radhika Apte's 'Hunterrr' may re-release on 10th anniversary
What's the story
The trend of re-releasing Bollywood films is picking up pace, with projects of different genres making a comeback.
Movies like Rockstar, Laila Majnu, Tumbbad, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and Sanam Teri Kasam have tasted immense success with their re-release.
Now, the 2015 film Hunterrr is gearing up for a re-release to mark its 10th anniversary, reported Bollywood Hungama.
Release date
'Hunterrr' to hit theaters again on March 20
A source told Bollywood Hungama, "Hunterrr will complete 10 years on March 20. The film has a recall value due to its subject, sex scenes, performances, and ensemble cast. Hence, the makers are planning to re-release the film on this joyous occasion."
"Once the plan is confirmed, the makers will look for an apt release date. It now remains to be seen if it arrives this Friday - March 20 - or on a later date."
Unique genre
'Hunterrr' stands out in re-release trend
An industry insider shared, "Until now, family-friendly films have mainly got a re-release. Very few 'A' rated films have had a re-run like Sarfarosh, Satya, Gangs Of Wasseypur, Ghulam, etc."
"Moreover, Hunterrr stands out from these adult films as it's a sex comedy. In fact, this genre hasn't produced any significant film in a long time and there's an audience for it."
"Hence, it won't be a surprise if Hunterrr also becomes a sleeper re-release success."
